I’ve done the “buy jeans a size smaller” thing, and then just had jeans that are too small and uncomfortable. Just get your normal size.

[jovanapetrovic]

I save nothing anymore. If this year has taught me anything is just don't wait for special occasions.

[anamladenovic]

I look forward to your videos like a child looks forward to gifts on Christmas morning!

[Antistylestyleclub]

I wish I was the lucky person who finds that yellow dress in a charity shop, I would wear it everyday! 💛 I love that everyones 'stapels' are different, it makes me happy for all the unworn clothes out there, and if we all shop and give away at charity shops more often, every item can find his true home 🍀

[TM-glko]

The floral Ganni dress is simply gorgeous ! It suits you perfectly, great choice Jenny !

[monstergirlinc]

the gray heels look so cool, and i would wear them a lot.

[aliceblue]

Oh what a pity! The yellow dress/trench really match with your undertone and could match too with your golden jewelry for a "sunny" look

[Justdatcat]

If you end up staining the white pants, you could probably dye them depending on what material they are :0) my friend spilled red sauce on their favorite grey pants and now they’re their favorite light pink pants after a bottle of dye and some patience 😅👏🏻

[polinaracheeva]

I regret pretty much any skirt I ever bought... I always feel like a granny in skirts

[hi]

Is there a video where Jenny shares where she gets her tights? if not she should totally do one since she seems to wear them a lot!

[plantberet]

Jenny, I love how you say' "The hips don't lie!" in such a serious, profound way! :D

[jinxingxuelang]

I feel like you condemned the Balenciaga dress and the white blouse a bit too early.
I feel like I saw a knitted vest somewhere in the video which could work nicely with the blouse and the dress could work with the wide collar blouse you are wearing for the video.

[theakristiina]

Hi, Jenny! I have been wondering a long time: Do you and David speak Swedish or English together? Hilsen fra Norge :)

[sagab]

You should dye your white pants a dark color! Then you'll probably get a lot more wear out of them, as the fit is amazing

[jauhienijaklincevich]

Dont throw that yellow dress! This yellow is so nice what are you... Omg what are you doing?? *Silently screaming*

[ZZ-qymv]

What is this lovely world where fashion is still relevant? *Cries in lockdownSinceMarch2020

Jk, jk... Love that coat. Also, if you wear those jeans while damp till they dry, they might stretch more. Though it might not be worth the effort.

[cavelleardiel]

This is just an observation but do you wash the reversible jacket? I would not want to wear it after I have been sitting In any public seating

[monstergirlinc]

Regret:
1)a pair of men's jeans that are a little bit small. they aren't awful, just not the best fit. I still wear them sometimes, just not as much as my other jeans. i do appreciate the pocket size.
2) rainbow crop top. Its nice but it's a bit short to wear on its own. I do get a lot of use out of it because i love to layer a black tanktop over it, for a sort of y2k look, but i wish i had gotten a size up so i could wear it on its own if i wanted.
3)black button up polo. Someone gave it to me, and it is comfy, so i don't regret it too much, but polo really isnt my style. Sometimes i like to wear a t shirt over it and have the collar sticking out, but i don't like it otherwise.
enough of the negative. Lets end on a positive note.
hero pieces:
1) red jeans. I saw them at the thrift store when i went to buy a jacket and i told myself "no, i only came here for the jacket." and then left. A month later they were still there, so i went ahead and bought them (they were only $5) and they are now my favorite jeans.
2) checkered vans. I got them for my birthday and i love them to death. They definately have become quite worn, but they are still useful, and i will probably wear them past the point they should be thrown out. I've never had a problem with their pattern clashing with the rest of outfit.
3) black healed booties. They are quite plain, but they really do elavate an outfit. Unlike jenny, i find thick heals to be rather comfy. They also have anti-slip tread, so they are good in the rain, and since they are platforms, they keep my feet out of the puddles. i think a tall heal like that immidately dresses up a more casual outfit.
4) gray fleece shirt. this is another one i never really wear on its own, but boy am i glad i have it. it is the softest warmest material. I usual wear it under outfits when it's cold, but i don't want to wear a jacket that would cover up my outfit. Also works if it's extra cold, so then i can wear both the fleece shirt and a jacket. Also works great as a pajama shirt.

When it comes to jeans, don’t listen to the sales assistant when she tells you they’ll stretch in the waist. They won’t - you’ll be doomed to a muffin top for years to come. Or a high waist jean digging in.

There's a small book titled "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels, that's popular. I recommend it.
